"While DeMent may moan against the world's evils, Workin' on a World offers an optimistic message. We can change the world! We can find encouragement in the stories of heroes ("Joinin' forces with the warriors of love") that came before us. We must recognize that we live in the present moment, just as holy and important as any other time ("The Sacred Now"). DeMent defiantly sings she is "workin' on a world I never may see". She knows that change may be slow to come, but that doesn't stop her from trying to change the world for the better".

"On her first collection of original material in over a decade, the country-folk songwriter frames observations of modern life in timeless American musical forms".

"The album is one powerful, deep dose of positivity, purposely overstated, with the whole bigger than any single song. Whether any of us need the tidal wave of healing power DeMent summons may be debatable but the album brings an indelible, lasting quality that few others achieve".
